The nightingale， when May is past；
For in your sweet dividing throat
She winters， and keeps warm her note.
Ask me no more where those stars light，
That downwards fall in dead of night；
For in your eyes they sit， and there
Fixed become， as in their sphere.
作品赏析
诗人不遗余力地歌颂佳人的美，六月的玫瑰、金色的太阳、五月的夜莺以及明亮的繁星，都成了他的比较对象。但在诗人的心中，玫瑰、太阳和星星都和她相差甚远，就连夜莺的啼叫都比不上她“甜蜜的歌喉”，诗人对爱人的情意表露无遗！
